These will not make you rich by any means, but you might be able to pay for something like your Netflix subscription. As for me, I hold on to the crypto. I am waiting for the next bull run.
Nothing in life is really free. But I consider these free because I get paid for doing what I do for free every day anyway.

Let’s get to the list.
Ever wanted to get paid for your Google searches? Well, this is just that. Presearch is a search engine that pays you a small amount for every search you conduct. It harnesses the power of the most popular search engines to get the search results. I have been using Presearch for quite a while now. And have always been happy about the results. I have set it as my default search engine. And I earn Pre tokens for every search I make.
Each PRE token is currently worth about 0.09$ and I currently get 0.0960 PRE tokens per search. It’s not a lot, but I would do the searching anyway. Over time I have accumulated about 140 PRE tokens.
But there is a daily limit of 25 paid searches so that the system doesn’t get abused. And you can also only withdraw the tokens when you have acquired 1000 of them.
So if you are looking for a quick buck this probably won’t be for you. But if you would like to make some passive crypto over time, try Presearch.
If you are a marketer you can also use PRE tokens to bid on keywords on Presearch.
I use this browser as my main browser. And in terms of usability, it is very similar to Google Chrome. As it is based on chromium. You can also easily import all the settings, bookmarks, etc from chrome.
What's different about this browser is that it has an in-built ad blocker. You get no ads even on YouTube videos. But if you chose to you can turn on ads from Brave. These pop up as notifications and you can choose the frequency of how many of these ads you see per hour. And you get paid in BAT brave browsers native crypto token for clicking on these ads. I make anywhere from 1$ to 5$ a month from this while not paying too much attention to these ads.
And I am holding on to the BAT tokens. Which are currently worth around 0.40$. But during the bull market went for almost 2$ each.
Brave browser also offers private browsing on the TOR network. Read more about brave browser here:

This one is a tool that shares your unused network bandwidth. It basically allows companies to use your connection through their service. Here is an article if found that explains it in more detail.
As I leave my PC on for most of the day, I decided to give this a shot. I don’t feel any difference since I’ve been using honey gain, but it has quietly earned me about 20$ while running in the background.
By using my link you will also get a 5$ sign-up bonus.
You can get paid in JMPT tokens, BTC, or in USD on PayPal.
My main platform for writing is Medium, but I do also post my content elsewhere, and some of the articles that do poorly on Medium do great on other writing platforms. So here are 3 writing platforms that I use which pay me in crypto.
1. Read.cash
This is my favorite. Right after Medium. Read.cash has a great and supportive community. You can cover any topic, you can write in several languages. And if your writing is good, you can get paid even with no followers.
Read.cash has a tipping system powered by Bitcoin.cash (BCH). Users of Read.cash can tip each other's work with ease. But great part is the Random rewarded bot. It somehow evaluates the quality of your articles and tips accordingly. I have got tipped over 5$ on an article that no one read on Medium by this bot alone.
And you can instantly cash out the BCH you earn on Read.cash to your crypto wallet or an exchange.
2. Publish0x
This is a site where you can get tipped for your writing, and tip other writers for free. While also making small amounts for the tipping itself. The tips are covered by crypto projects who are using the site for marketing.
You can withdraw your earnings directly to your crypto wallet or to the KuCoin exchange. This month I have earned about 6$ for mostly just reposting my Medium articles.
This site is also great for putting your work in front of an audience. It’s quite easy to land on the Popular article page.
3. Hive
This is a whole crypto ecosystem. And it is quite complicated. I am not going to pretend I completely understand it. But I do use it. But I find it lacks genuine interactions. And I feel you would need to invest your own money into the system to truly succeed.
I won’t recommend this to everyone. But if you are a crypto enthusiast go check it out. Maybe you will find better results than me. It still made me some fairly passive income from reposting my writing.
I'm sure these methods are not for everyone, but I personally use all of these. It’s not so much about making money for me as for being curious about how all of this web 3.0 stuff plays out. What’s possible and what’s new. And after all who knows maybe some
